simple learning for TODDLER TUESDAY
Watching my sister's girls on our extended sleep over reminded me of something. Toddlers are extremely fun... and just a little bit demanding. :) Sweet J has now started shouting "I NOT BABY!!! I TODDLER!" Whew, I only had to hear that once. Of course she's right, she is not a baby and I am so glad. 2 years old is such a fun age. One of the benefits of having M and M so close together in age is that I have really never had to adjust projects or activities to include different ages. I know from chatting with my sister that having a toddler (NOT A BABY) around makes it more difficult to bring out certain stuff. Well I had a fairy Continue Reading
Toddler Tuesday… sticky SHAPES
After a few weeks without our little toddler friends we were so excited to get to spend some time with N and J! I made sure to stock up on activities and pictures... so I have a few weeks prepped for Toddler Tuesday! Awhile back (a long while... you can tell by the pictures!) I posted a Shapes Collage activity I did with M and M. I really enjoyed the activity but wanted to "toddler size" it for N and J. So... instead of using glue. I taped a piece of contact paper to the kid table, sticky side up of course. Instead of using a variety of shapes I used only circles. Large, medium and small circles. N and J had a great time placing the Continue Reading
Toddler Tuesday… obstacle course
Sometimes the best thing to do with a toddler is sit back and watch! Cousin J turned some cluttered stuff into this really cool obstacle course while the big kids were busy doing "big kid stuff". (The pics are not great, but I had to get them while I could!) She went over. She went through. She went over again. She went around. Then she cheered. Good job Cousin J! You are one creative, busy, and smart little girl. Continue Reading
